PC-gaming hardware, including keyboards, mice, graphics cards and motherboards, can look stunning with lighting and unique designs. But there's a fine line between tasteful and bizarre.
PC Gamer's Tuan Nguyen published a piece on PC-gaming hardware and how it needs to grow up. I agree with many of the points raised, though I also have some different thoughts.
Gone too far
Why do I agree with Nguyen that manufacturers of peripherals and PC components need to reconsider how they design products for consumers?
We see this sort of design language through the entire industry. Everything from motherboards, to graphics cards, to monitors, to headsets and more. Instead of making things efficient and comfortable, ridiculous and often useless design language takes a front row seat.
This is where I'm absolutely in line with the argument that something has gone slightly wrong with gaming gear. Manufacturers certainly need to be applauded for research and development. We've advanced from simple desktop towers and bulky laptops to numerous styles and formats. And that's just for mainstream consumers. Products specifically designed and launched for gamers have effectively left this world.
